These are the top 3 drugs immediately prescribed to any patients that are thought to need immunotherapy. MS, RA, PA...etc. Everything from Lupus to Alopecia. These drugs increase cancer risk of any soft tissue type by 200% at a minimum individually, and more so for dermal types by sun exposure.
The irony is in prescribing such drugs and then having a study that says the thing that will accelerate your cancer risk may be beneficial.
